Curricular Focus:
6th Grade: Through the Christ our Life program, students continue to discover God’s great love through the stories of the Old Testament.They learn how God guided His people, kept His promises, and prepared the way for Jesus. Through Scripture, prayer, and reflection, children come to see how the faith of God’s people long ago connects to their own lives today, helping them trust in God’s plan and grow as His disciples.
7th Grade Year & 8th Grade Fall Semester: Through the Chosen program, teens discover the joy of being Catholic and develop a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. Through engaging videos, relatable stories, and interactive lessons, young people explore the truths of the faith in a way that connects with their everyday lives. The program equips them to make their own, informed “yes” to God and prepares them to live as committed disciples in the Church and the world.
8th Grade Spring Semester: Rooted in the teachings of St. John Paul II, the Theology of the Body program guides young people to see themselves and others as children of God, created in His image and deserving of love and respect. Through age-appropriate videos, discussions, and activities, students learn how to make good choices, grow in virtue, and live with confidence as sons and daughters of God.

Middle School YG
Wednesday evening during the school year, middle schoolers come together from 5:30–7:00pm for a mix of faith, food, and fun.
Our middle school youth group follows a dynamic, faith-centered model designed to engage students in both fun and meaningful ways. Each week, we explore a specific topic—sometimes a core aspect of our Catholic faith, like What is Truth?, What is Faith?, The Eucharist, or The Saints; other times a real-life issue, like perseverance, honesty, or gossip. Through games, interactive discussions, and small group conversations, students not only learn about their faith but also practice applying it in their everyday lives.
What to expect each week:
Faith Talk to encourage and inspire in the middle of a busy week.
Games and activities for fun and community building.
Dinner Together from 6:30–7:00pm with favorites like tacos, pizza, and nachos.
Friends & Community in a welcoming space where everyone belongs.
Students are encouraged to come whenever they can—whether it’s every week or once in a while. Coming late after practice or other activities is completely fine! Friends are welcome
